Public Invited To Attend Meeting on Flood Control
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District, in cooperation with the Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District, will be hosting an open house to share information with the public about the Papillion Creek Basin flood risk management study.
The open house will be held tomorrow, July 23, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Mammel Hall, 6708 Pine St. A formal presentation will begin at 6 p.m., and the public will have an opportunity to ask questions and provide comment on proposed alternatives.
The study is working to develop alternatives to reduce flood risks and improve public safety within the Papillion Creek Basin, which includes Douglas, Sarpy and Washington counties.
Alternatives include:
• Reservoir construction at dam site 10 on Thomas Creek.
• Reservoir construction at dam site 19 on South Papillion Creek.
• Levee modifications on the Big Papillion, Little Papillion, West Papillion creeks.
• Channel modifications on the Big Papillion, Little Papillion Creek, West Papillion and South Papillion creeks.
• Other nonstructural solutions throughout the study area.
